H.R. 3488, Preclearance Authorization Act of 2014 1 (June 30, 2014)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo1729 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE June 30, 2014 H.R. 3488 Preclearance Authorization Act of 2014 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on June 11, 2014 H.R. 3488 would authorize Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the Department of Homeland Security to establish preclearance (inspection) stations in foreign countries. CBP currently operates preclearance facilities in about a dozen locations, mostly in Canada. The bill would require the agency to notify the Congress before establishing preclearance stations in countries that currently have none. H.R. 3488 also would specify policies and requirements to ensure that aviation security screening performed at foreign airports engaged in preclearance operations meet U.S. standards. CBP anticipates opening new preclearance stations over the next several years and can do so under current law, so we estimate that implementing the bill would not significantly affect agency spending. CBO also expects that implementing the bill's requirements related to aviation security would not significantly affect federal costs. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. H.R. 3488 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments. The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Mark Grabowicz and Megan Carroll. The estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
